Prostate Cancer is the most common malignancy in men. Almost 200,000 cases are diagnosed in the USA every year and over 15,000 men will die from this disease. Diagnostic tools are available for early detection and doctors owe a duty of care to ensure prompt examination.

Medical malpractice results in numerous claims every year as a result of inappropriate treatment or other departure from accepted standards of medical care or safety on the part of a health care provider. Some of the deaths are caused by medical malpractice which can include any of the following errors by healthcare professionals:

Failing to perform a physical examination or PSA blood test

Failing to monitor patients with a family history of carcinoma

Failing to identify a cancerous mass during examination

Failing to perform a biopsy when test results are not normal

Ignoring or failing to recognise a patient's symptoms

Ignoring blood test or biopsy results

Losing records

Failing to follow-up with the patient

Most prostate cancer can now be found prior to any symptoms becoming apparent. The symptoms listed below may also be associated with non cancerous conditions:

Urinary dribbling, especially immediately after urinating

Delayed or slowed start of urinary stream

Urinary retention

Pain with ejaculation

Pain with urination

Lower back pain

Excessive urination at night

Pain with bowel movement

Incontinence

Abdominal pain

Blood in the urine

Anaemia

Lethargy

Weight loss

Screening and diagnosis can include:

Digital rectal examination. A biopsy is usually carried out following abnormal findings however a positive diagnosis results in only 20% of cases.

The level of PSA which is a naturally occurring chemical in the body is increased by a number of conditions including cancer of the prostate. Subsequent biopsy will confirm approximately 20% of raised PSA levels as resulting from cancer.

If a biopsy is negative then PSA and rectal examinations are usually carried out on an annual basis.
